GOOD THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT WORKING AT TIMBERLANE

STAFF TRAINING!!

We take great pride in the creative, responsive, and comprehensive nature of our staff training. Each summer we spend nine days training and practicing the skills we need to be caring and effective counselors. Our training is also designed to develop the solidarity and camaraderie among our staff that puts in place our very important support network. Yes, camp counselors do have to have some natural inclination to work with children. Beyond that, after our thorough training, YOU WILL FEEL PREPARED FOR YOUR CAMPERS!

"This was one of the best summers of my life. I'd never been to a place where I didn't know anyone, and could then walk away with 200 new friends. The people that I met and the activities that I participated in helped me learn a lot about myself and others. " Pete - 1 year at camp. Student at Western Michigan, University, Kalamazoo, MI.
